Shardlight Tips

Speak with everyone you come across. They may have important information or give you clues about what to do next.

Examine each location thoroughly. Left click to interact with an item and right click to examine an item. Amy will say different things and may give clues as to what to do when you try to interact with or examine an item.

Move the cursor to the top of the screen to view your inventory. You can examine and possibly interact with items in your inventory as well.

If you get stuck on a puzzle take a little break and come back to it. Most puzzles involve interacting with items in the environment or giving items to someone to progress with the plot. There are also a few, but not many, logic puzzles throughout the game.
